besides, this was duplicating code form hosting, which we try to avoid if possible

this way we can build a full distro from scratch more easily without aegir.make

We go back to the regular git release

This reverts commit 5e15be21.

It breaks everything.

This reverts commit 011ae4fc.

Add Views and VBO to the makefile, enable them in the profiles, and remove the custom menu items for sites and platforms, as these are handled by our views now.

this decouples the releases of core from aegir, the same way we do
with eldir

we also change the makefiles so that the makefile found by drupal.org
will use the tagged releases while our local makefile will use the git
releases. the trick here is that the hostmaster.make file is first
read by drush make everywhere *except* on drupal.org.

gethostbynamel() returns an array already

the ip_addresses datastructure is now indexed as within the SQL
database, with the serial being the key to the array.

this allows us to individually add/change/remove entries in the IP
list of a server.

this seems to work very well in my manual tests, but it could use a
bit more AJAXy polish and further testing.

this is a workaround for #1975086

Independently fixed in the 7.x-3.x branch

we are too likely to forget changing a random update hook...
